Currently, in addition to PR and direction for outdoor brands, he is also involved in editing and writing, such as directing promotional visuals and catalogs for companies. In his private life, he also got married, and both his public and private life changed dramatically in the past year. Yamada's favorite cars are a Jimny and a recently purchased Volvo 240 Estate.
Fred Middle B200 PF , first of all, what are your impressions of the design?
." "Tree camo is a great choice for people who love the outdoors and military. From a camper's point of view, they can be enjoyed as gear, and are a perfect match for my current mood. The thick Vibram sole goes well with it, and it's a design you'll want to wear in the outdoor field.
How do you feel about the comfort of the shoes?
. The functional aspect is so substantial that it can be said to be over-spec for wearing in waiting, and the comfort is outstanding without mentioning it. . They are a pair that can be used in all kinds of situations, whether in the rain, on snowy roads, or off-road. And yet, it is an excellent down shoe that is surprisingly light and allows you to experience a stable grip. I think they are very cost-effective for the money.
. What was the point of your outfit on this day?
. This style is a mix of fashion and the outdoors, a trend that has been gaining popularity in recent years. The key points of this style are the skillful layering of navy and olive colors, the elegant interweaving of set-up items, and the trench coat. I also casually added a leopard pattern to the look, a challenge to combine patterns that is typical of this season.
What kind of brand is "Danner" to you, Mr. Yamada?
I bought my first pair of "Mountain Lites" 15 years ago, and they are still my best-selling item, so much so that I replace them regularly. I hope to someday visit Portland, where Danner is headquartered (laughs).
Lastly, what outdoor activities have you been into recently?
I've been camping and mountain climbing for a while now, and recently it has become more like a life's work than a hobby, so I'm definitely into fly fishing now. I am fascinated by the depth of mountain stream fishing, which is different from bass and ocean fishing.
